Leaders in Managing Change (2) : Stick to It !



Friends,

Who do you think I am describing in the following list?

- failed in business at age 21,
- was defeated in a legislative race at 22,
- failed again in business at 24,
- overcame the death of his sweetheart at 26,
- lost a congressional race at 34,
- lost a congressional race at 36,
- lost a senatorial race at 45,
- failed in an effort to become vice president at 47,
- lost a senatorial race at 49, and
- was elected president of the US at age 52,

This man was Abraham Lincoln.

Wow. Amazing!!

Determined people possess the stamina and courage to pursue their ambitions despite failures, criticism, ridiculus or unfavourable circumstances. Based on many sources it's very clear that determination and perseverance are critical to be successful in managing change.
